Of all the hundreds (thousands?) of videos of this week’s solar eclipse, this is the one I found to be most dramatic. It’s quite short (and a timelapse) but so beautiful, and dramatic, and still. (Well: except for the noisy kids. 🙂 )

“Willie Nelson’s guitar, “Trigger,” is in for repairs at Erlewine Guitars in Austin, Texas. Mark Erlewine shares a closeup look at the famous hole in the top. Mark’s been Trigger’s caretaker for ages, and he gives us the inside scoop on Trigger’s history.”

That is one well-traveled guitar! (Related: wiki link. Worth a deep dive.)

There have been a few stories and videos making the rounds lately about the technology used to fabricate video or audio of fake statements.

This is the most impressive one in my opinion. It can generate video based solely on audio source alone. I’d say it’s something like 90% accurate looking. In a few years this could be a really interesting tool, specifically in film post production.
